This show belongs to the Adelaide Fringe 2026 season. This season is now over.

A woman is dressed in a white collared shirt, black coat, red bowtie and black hat with flowers and red bells on them. She looks up at the camera with wide eyes and a frustrated expression. We see her tiny hands compared to her big face.

Dirty Work

Mary Floppins has cracked the sh*ts.  

Wipe the wee from the toilet seat and pick up your dirty undies, because The Perfect Nanny is back to teach all you little boys - and girls - a thing or two about running a prim and proper household. Hailed 'a rising star and quadruple threat' (Australian Arts Review) and returning from a completely sold-out Edinburgh Fringe run in 2025, Jessica Barton combines a spoonful of song, dance, clowning and deep-cleaning to present a skanky and empowering comedy debut. Newly directed by Dan Wye.
